The text of the manuscript should be
ordered in the sections as follows: Summary,
Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results,
Discussion (these last two sections can be combined
in short texts), Conclusions, Acknowledgments, cited
Literature, Tables, Figures, Appendices and Legends
of Tables and Figures.
A graphic, a drawing or photograph will be
considered as Figures; all figures must have a width
of 8 cm (column width) because when their size is
reduced, they get distorted. All pages must be
consecutively numbered from the Title page. The
photographs must also be in separate files, not in
the manuscript, in JPG image format and high
resolution (greater than 600 dpi).
The cover letter that must accompany the
manuscripts, signed by the author with whom the
correspondence will be maintained, must inform about
the name of the article, the size of the audience
(type of specialists) that the article would
attract, the consent of the authors both in the
authorship of the article as in the order in which
they will appear cited, institutional affiliation,
telephone numbers, e-mail address, and the number of
words (including captions) of the entire article.
This letter, duly signed, is necessary for the
registration of copyright; without it the article
will not be accepted, it should be directed to the
Main Editor.
Likewise, the authors must attach a data
sheet that can be downloaded from the website (lamolina.edu.pe/ecolap)
and duly signed.
The title page contains: the Title in
Spanish or Portuguese (if the text is in this
language) and English, short title in the language
of the manuscript, the names of the authors (with
the last name underlined), their institutional
affiliation (with the full address) of when the
study was conducted and the current one, the current
postal address, the electronic address and your
ORCID ID code. E.g. Patricia Moreira-Turcq,
Institute du Recherche pour le Développement (IRD),
Géosciences Environnement Toulouse (UMR5563/CNRS,
IRD, OMP, UPS, CNES), France. email:
patricia.turcq@ird.fr. ORCID: 0000-0003-4299-2768.
The Summary explains the motivation of the
study and the significance of the results, IN NO
MORE THAN 250 WORDS IN A SINGLE PARAGRAPH, including
the key words that denote the most relevant issues
of the article. In keywords, individual words (e.g.
insectivorous, benthic) or short phrases (e.g.
plant-herbivorous interaction) can be indicated, and
are generally in numbers from 6 to 15. It should be
considered that the usefulness of the article is
seen in the first instance by the summary, and the
keywords are the descriptors that facilitate the
indexing of the article in the documentary archives
and databases, and will be the direct way to
identify the content and message of the article. The
same recommendations apply for the English version
(Abstract).
Scientific
names should be italicized with the name of the author
descriptor, according to the current nomenclature
codes. Adding the year of validation of the species
name is left to the authors’ consideration.
In
acknowledgments, the source of research funding must
be indicated, recognition should be given to
collaborators without authorship in accessory or
important work, to suppliers of literature, materials
or equipment, to reviewers of drafts of the manuscript
and to others who have collaborated in the preparation
of the Article in depth and form. The citations of
literature in the text will be made as follows: "...
González & Pardo (1988) observed ...", "... Nelson
et al. (1998) established ...", "... was determined
(Nelson et al., 1981; Smith, 1990a b; Graham &
Pérez, 1995); (Pierlun, 1998, 2000, 2003; Caduc, 1999;
Toterdam, 2003); (Morris, 1997; Morris et al., 1998a
b; Redolfi et al., 2003) The references section
(Literature cited) should be organized in alphabetical
order and without numbering, an example is shown

Remark: DOI
will be placed at the end if the publication informs.
There should
be a perfect correspondence between citations in the
text and the references. If there is a citation
without reference it will be deleted or vice versa.
You cannot
cite web pages, conference summaries, mimeographed,
brochures, oral communications journals and any other
source that is only preliminary information and
doubtful origin.
Scientific
or technical journals with ISSN or high prestige
registration, books or texts with ISBN registration,
thesis will be considered as citations. The
illustrations are justified when they significantly
reduce and clarify the text. The definition of the
symbols should appear in the legend but not in the
illustration. The most conventional symbols should be
used and that when being reduced in size they do not
lose resolution.
Tables will
complement, not duplicate text information. The
information that appears in the legends will not be
repeated in the text. Figures, graphics and tables
should be numbered with Arabic numerals, and in order
of their appearance in the article. DO NOT EXCEED IN
THE NUMBER OF TABLES AND FIGURES.
Units of the
International Measurement System must be used. If it
is necessary to add measures from other systems, the
corresponding abbreviations should be defined in the
text.
The symbols,
abbreviations and acronyms must be defined the first
time they are used, except for the summary. If within
the summary they are used more than once, this rule
will be applied. Be careful with the following:
amounts, for example 2 456.67 (thousands with space
and decimals with dot); abbreviations: masl (meters
above sea level), m (meters), km (kilometer), ha
(hectare), ml (milliliter), p> 0.005, (r = 0.80; P
= 0.017). Mathematical formulas must be placed in
their corresponding program.
